"Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Kennedy," takes place July 14 at Rose Garden in Portland, Ore. Main-card bouts air on Showtime while preliminary-card fights air on Showtime Extreme.

Already official for the event is a middleweight title bout between champ Luke Rockhold and challenger Tim Kennedy, as well as a bout for the vacant Strikeforce welterweight belt that pits Nate Marquardt against Tyron Woodley.

Healy is on a four-fight tear that's put him in the conversation for a shot at the lightweight title. Most recently, he snapped the five-fight win streak of Carlos Fodor at "Strikeforce: Tate vs. Rousey." Only former champ Josh Thomson has bested him under the Strikeforce banner.

Hirota brings a championship pedigree to his Strikeforce debut. A titleholder in Japanese stalwarts Cage Force, Sengoku and DEEP, he defended his DEEP title against Seichi Ikemoto this past February. Perhaps best known for an arm-breaking submission loss to Shinya Aoki at Dynamite!! 2009 that forced him to vacate the Sengoku belt, Hirota looks to reinvent himself stateside.

Longtime Canadian prospect Mein is on the road to redemption after narrowly falling short to now-contender Woodley at "Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine." The loss snapped a four-fight win streak that saw him defeat onetime title challengers Marius Zaromskis and Evangelista Santos in back-to-back outings.

Stinson looks to rebound, as well, after a split decision loss to Tarec Saffiedine that ended a four-fight streak. A Bellator and Strikeforce vet, he has a notable career win over Drew Fickett.

With a six-fight win streak, High is on the ladder up the welterweight division and enjoys back-to-back wins under the Strikeforce banner. A finalist in the DREAM welterweight grand prix, he handed Mein a decision loss and outpointed Japanese veteran Hayato Sakurai at DREAM "Dynamite!! 2010."

Moore most recently put away Nathan Coy at "Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Cyborg," which reversed a loss to Saffiedine in the promotion's Challengers series. A product of American Kickboxing Academy, he's earned four wins by way of submission.

THe evening's main card airs on Showtime. Couture vs. Duarte is expected to take place on the Showtime Extreme-broadcast preliminary card.

Couture, of course, is the son of UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture. The 29-year-old Ryan has fought his entire professional career under the Strikeforce banner, sandwiching a lone loss to Matt Ricehouse between a pair of two-fight win streaks. The Xtreme Couture product most recently fought in March, earning a TKO victory over Conor Heun.

Meanwhile, Duarte first earned national prominence during a stint on "The Ultimate Fighter 8," where he was eliminated in the opening round by eventual show finalist Phillipe Nover. Duarte has since gone 6-1 on the regional scene, with the lone loss coming in April 2010 in a Bellator bout with Carey Vanier.

Duarte currently trains in San Diego and boasts a five-fight win streak, including a pair of Strikeforce wins over Jorge Gurgel and Saad Awad.

The evening's main card airs on Showtime. Masvidal vs. Wilcox is expected to take place on the Showtime Extreme-broadcast preliminary card.

The heavy-handed Masvidal recently was on a 3-1 run with victories over Billy Evangelista and K.J. Noons. However, the American Top Team fighter, who's also dabbled in the welterweight division, then suffered a title loss to reigning lightweight champion Gilbert Melendez via unanimous decision in December. He now fights for the first time since that lopsided five-round defeat.

Wilcox recently saw a five-fight Strikeforce win streak snapped with a stunning 13-second knockout loss to Caros Fodor in December. In one fight prior, his bout with Gesias Cavalcante ended in a no-contest when Wilcox took a deep eye poke in the second round. Prior to the setbacks, the American Kickboxing Academy fighter strung together an impressive streak of Strikeforce wins over David Douglas, Daisuke Nakamura, Shamar Bailey, Vitor Ribeiro and Rodrigo Damm.
